I finally got a nice flight from my Trilogy cluster-powered rocket (even though it found a tree to land in).

Bracha and I launched our Akavish on an Aerotech G35-4W motor.

The spider-themed rocket made one of its best flights, rising straight into the blue sky.

Carl's Delta IV Medium made an impressive flight on a cluster with one E9-4 motor in the center and four B6-0s in the SRMS.

The SRMs popped off about 100 feet up and landed near the LCO table.
Mike Hellmund flew a classic Centuri Nike Smoke which landed gently on the roof of our tent.

We only had a moderate turnout for the launch, but it was nice to see several younger kids getting really involved in launching rockets.
